Dark matter is a hypothetical...
very recent hot topic physics term
currently much in debate/dispute even by Erik Verlinde following semi recent experiments

let's go with much older classic term
Aether theories (also known as ether theories) in physics propose the existence of a medium, the aether (also spelled ether, from the Greek word (αἰθήρ), meaning "upper air" or "pure, fresh air"[1]), a space-filling substance or field, thought to be necessary as a transmission medium for the propagation of electromagnetic or gravitational forces. The assorted aether theories embody the various conceptions of this "medium" and "substance". This early modern aether has little in common with the aether of classical elements from which the name was borrowed. Since the development of special relativity, theories using a substantial aether fell out of use in modern physics, and were replaced by more abstract models.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_theories
they are somewhat applicable for what is now being "coined" dark matter/energy
"Aethers"
not to be confused with the Dee/Kelly Enochian experiments/research

Sorry about running away. Got mired in real life issues, no spare time whatsoever.
So the much needed discussion regarding the role of the audience, the death of the author and modernist vs postmodernist paradigms of art will have to wait
Thanks for your responses, I enjoyed them a lot.

David de Hilster -he attended The Ohio State University majoring in Architecture where he was the top student in his class. Ohio State University with a Master of Arts in Linguistics.. In 1994, David started SambaLa Samba School in Long Beach California... No qualifications in physics or astro physics.

"David de Hilster is an American scientist, artist, filmmaker, and musician and dissident scientist since meeting Argentinian physicist Dr. Ricardo Carezani in 1992 who showed Einstein's Special theory of Relativity wrong in the early 1940s. David is currently co-authoring a book with his father Bob de Hilster which claims to be the first complete physical model of the universe called Universe Hack 3.0 that is based on Newtonian laws and having no math. "

Not content with just one crackpot theory de Hilster has also gone on to advocate the perhaps even more ridiculous expanding earth hypothesis: "200 million years ago, the earth's continents were all together on a much smaller orb and since then, the earth has been growing significantly."

Autodynamics was a theory designed to replace the Theory of Relativity in the 1940s. It didn't work. Its main tenet states that the Lorentz transformation equations used in mainstream science are formulated incorrectly, causing special relativity and general relativity equations to be invalid. It also holds that the neutrino does not exist, despite the fact that both neutrinos and antineutrinos have been detected.
